XRC and Tape statistics are presented different output formats.
The following elements are common to both tape emulation and XRC emulation outputs:
FDCB ptr A pointer to the FICON Device Control Block. Support personnel may use this pointer.
Path The device path, in the format VE-HD-HP-DD-DP-LP-CU-DV. where:
• VE is the internal VE_Port number.
• HD is the hex value for the Host Domain (the entry domain for this host port into
the fabric).
• HP is the hex value for the Host Port (the entry port of this host connection into the
fabric).
• DD is the hex value for the Device Domain (the entry domain for this device into the
fabric).
• DP is the hex value for the Device Port (the entry port for this device connection
into the fabric).
• LP is the Logical Partition (LPAR) value for the host accessing the specific device.
• CU is the Control Unit number (CUADDR) for the specific FICON connection.
• DV is the Device Number of this FICON connected device.
For example, the value 2463016406050001 breaks down as follows.
State A value of zero indicates emulation is idle. Any non-zero value indicates emulation is
active.
